Favorite

This engaging comedy-drama tells of a young woman, Olivia Martin (played by Lacy Chabert)who is forced to make some life-changing and compelling decisions when she is faced with taking care of her half-sister, Celia (played by Sammi Hanratty) when her dad and his wife die in a tragic car accident.

The family lawyer, Dennis Klein (played by David Ramsey) informs Olivia that her father and his wife had both agreed that she would be the best to take of Celia. Olivia is very surprised to learn this since she was distant from the father and this does not set well with her. She is totally against it. Olivia is a college student and the only thing she has to worry about are mid-terms and fraternity parties and she has big plans to leave and go to Italy on an adventure with her boyfriend, Joe (played by Adam Kaufman) and does not want to be saddled with the responsibility of taking care of a young child.

As the movie progresses, Olivia and Celia get to know each other and in the process, Olivia realizes that she is learning how to be a big sister to Celia and cares for her deeply.

In the end, she decides not to go to Italy with her boyfriend, Joe, and stay to take care of Celia.
